Hi all,

New to the zone and have noticed someting funny. I am doing up a personalized spreadsheet with the foods we eat for quick reference. I bought the original zone book and the soy zone as we have a vegetarian in the family.

Looking at some of the portions there are discrepencies and it is making me nervous. For example in the soy zone raw broccoli one block is 1 1/4 cups. In the regular zone book the exace same thing is 4 cups. Raw cauliflower in the soy zone is 2 cups and 4 in the regular zone book. And on and on.

Does anyone know about this or where I can get correct measurements?

Thanks!

Kim

Hi Kim!

Use the most recent carb lists. Block amounts for some carbs were slightly adjusted after "Mastering the Zone" was written.

Incidentally, my copy of "The Soy Zone", a first edition, shows one block of raw broccoli as 4 cups and one block of raw cauliflower as 4 cups.

Kim, if you are interested, I have done a spreadsheet based on the food guide from the website. I also calculated a formula so that the portion sizes can be changed, and the blocks will recalculate according to the portion size that is entered.

If interested, please send me an email--cranberrycat@hotmail.com.

CranberryCat,

I just sent you an email to the address you provided asking for the block spreadsheet you mentioned in your post. That would be so helpful! Thank you!

Could you please email me a copy of the spreadsheet, I get the zone but my mom needs it simplified more so she can follow it and it sounds like you have the answer to that.
Thanks so much
